Page History
Zedmed provides an executable file (PenDataExtract.exe) that must exist in your local Zedmed installation directory in order for Clinical Audit to be able to collect data. The local Zedmed installation directory is usually C:\Zedmed or C:\Patients.
If this file is not installed you will receive the following error message when you click the Clinical Audit 'Collect' button.
Image 4: Zedmed Error
If you receive this message you can download the executable file from http://help.pencs.com.au/cat.htm > click on the CAT4 Zedmed extractor link. Updates to the extractor are available from this link.
Pathology results received in HL7 format will be viewable from the Summary Views panel Measurements tab and will be extracted for CAT4. To enable CAT4 to extract this data it needs to access the Blobs folder. This folder is used by Zedmed to store HL7 based data after importing. The default location is c:\zedmeddata\blobs but this can vary depending on your installation – to verify the location you can check CRS_App_Server.ini (which may be in a folder called ZedmedServer) which should have an entry called *BLOBFilesPath=C:\ZedmedData\Blobs*

| Warning |

| edmed has advised Pen CS that they have made some changes in Zedmed v29 to improve data security by introducing an Integrator Account. What this means is that the current connections strings Pen CS uses to access the Zedmed database for data collections need to be replaced to use the new Integrator Account. |
Pen CS will be making changes in CAT4 and Topbar to enable this change.
What will practices need to do?
- 1. Practices will need to set up their Integrator Password as required by Zedmed.
- 2. Practices will need to update their CAT4 configuration settings with the Integrator Password.
In order for CAT4 and Topbar to continue functioning, there is a transition window for practices to update their configuration but they must have updated before they upgrade to Zedmed v30.3.
| Warning |

| CAT4 and Topbar will not work in Zedmed v30.3 if the configuration has NOT been updated. |
